If it is the first time hearing this name, Drew Madden, you’ll be familiar with why he is one of the role models in the community. He has a decade-plus experience optimizing, advising, implementing, as well as managing EMR projects. His skill to combine a technical EMR experience with his skills in project management, as well as consulting services, help healthcare IT establish successful Epic implementation teams.

Drew began his career at Cerner Corporation. Here he spent a total of four years (2002-2006) implementing inpatient healthcare solutions at two major hospital systems in Chicago. Drew joined Healthia Consulting in 2005 (Ingenix Consulting acquired it in 2007). Drew spent four years there in implementing roles before transferring to a Business Development position.

It has received several KLAS awards for consulting success; it includes number one ranking for Epic implementation services in 2012 and 2014. He was responsible for recruiting, client relationships, consulting operations, and client relationships for the biggest Epic only consulting company in the nation. He is responsible for maintaining relations with Epic customers across the country and internationally. During his time at Nordic, the firm grew from 10-725 employees, 3-159 client partners, and $1M-$130M in annual revenue.

Before joining Nordic, Drew worked at Ingenix Consulting from December 2009 – December 2010. Now called Optuminsight, the firm is a subsidiary of United Healthcare. Drew was responsible for sales and business development of GE, Epic, and Allscripts consulting services in the Midwest.

Drew is passionate about building successful teams, attractive and unique company culture, and trusted client partnerships.

He holds a B.S.E in Industrial Engineering with a major in Medical Systems from Lowa College of Engineering. He has excelled in every position he has held which makes him one of the best.

Jim Tananbaum has a unique perspective on the financial industry thanks to his hard hitting work as the CEO for Foresite Capital. Tananbaum has been one of the most innovative investors we have seen over the past several years and his ability to fundamentally work the market has made him a legend to his clients. Tananbaum’s extensive experience is definitely worth digging deeper into and fortunately for us he is open about his work and experience.

When talking with Jim Tananbaum you can see right away that he has focused entirely on cultivating his work with Foresite Capital. Foresite has been in the business for over 25 years, working primarily with healthcare. Tananbaum claims that, for him, the reason he has found so much success is simple and that it largely exists due to the innovative teams he has managed to cultivate over the years. Above all, still, Tananbaum credits his understanding of healthcare. Tananbaum says, “To me, Foresite truly means to understand and harness healthcare’s future.”

To date Foresite has invested in 77 healthcare companies that focus in a slew of different specialties: medical services, genome sequencing, biopharmaceuticals and more. Being this heavily invested in so many different companies means that Tananbaum needs to work hard to keep ahead of the pack. Let’s dig into what a typical day for the CEO of Foresite Capital could look like.

Jim Tananbaum starts each and every day like the one before it: closely working with his team members by way of in person meetings and networked phone calls. Tananbaum works through presentations, meetings, and company updates before finally retiring to his home to be with his family. Tananbaum says, “Family is my highest priority and one of my favorite activities is having dinner with them.” Visit Medium for more details.

Finding success as an entrepreneur or as an investor can take some work, and it means always pushing for that next concept. Foresite finds success thanks in large part to Tananbaum’s insistence on hiring and working with the smartest, most active, and persistent leaders within the healthcare industry. So far so good and it looks like Jim Tananbaum still has plenty left to do.

Recently, DR. Rocklage was celebrated for contributing towards the renovation of Moungi Bawendi’s nanochemistry and nanotechnology lab space. He pursued his PhD studies at MIT Department of Chemistry under Professor Richard R. Schrock, the Nobel Prize Winner in chemistry. When the former head of the Chemistry Department approached Scott about the possibility of supporting the projects in the department, he immediately responded by asking about the most urgent need. His willingness to support MIT is a gratitude for giving him the platform to nurture his professional life and career in chemistry. Scott and his wife visited the department to celebrate the milestone.

After exploring the newly renovated lab space offered by Professor Bawendi and his two graduate students, He Wei and Whitney Hess, Bawendi group members and faculty converged at the lab’s vestibule to view the display of a plaque honoring the Rocklages. Timothy Jamison, the current Department Head, Sylvia Ceyer and Professor Moungi Bawendi paid their tribute to the Rocklages. The department’s 2010 newsletter featured Scott Rocklage as an alumnus profile where he said that he never knew his survivalist skills would be of great importance to MIT. He posited that he was lucky to be accepted in the department where he had a chance to associate with individuals having big intellects and visions. Scott attributed his success to the productive atmosphere of high competition, reagent, glove box time and Dick’s leadership. Scott also thanked his friends Howard Turner, Clayton Wood and Jere Fellman for their support while studying at MIT.
